Louisiana Driver 17 & Younger: 38-Hour Course

****PLEASE THOROUGHLY READ IMPORTANT DETAILS BELOW****

Decades of driver's education experience has helped us establish a policy in which we offer the 

38-hour classroom instruction & behind-the-wheel training for teens each year in the SUMMER ONLY. 

The school year proves to be a difficult time for teens & parents to commit to the requirements of the driver's education training. At Crescent City Driving School, we understand the demands of the school day, extracurricular activities, after school practices & family responsibilities. In the interest of  the most structured & productive learning experience for our younger drivers, we designate 1 week each summer (in the month of May) solely to our teen drivers and we aim to have all behind-the-wheel hours completed prior to the start of the upcoming school year. 

All interested student must first obtain their Temporary Instruction Permit (TIP) from the OMV.
